Doubao 1.5 Vision Pro API Pricing

Doubao 1.5 Vision Pro is the older Doubao multimodal tier kept here for invoice reconciliation and migration planning. Volcano Ark's current pricing table lists Y3.00/M input and Y9.00/M output for standard inference, stored here as $0.4464/M and $1.3391/M. This page carried no output price at all until August 31, 2026 - the vendor publishes one, and we had recorded the row as output-less.

Counts use a chars-per-token calibration measured on the vendor's own published tokenizer (ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct, 2026-06-10). English prose is typically within a few percent; code and non-Latin scripts tokenize heavier. For billing-exact counts use the vendor's count-tokens API.

Frequently asked.

Practical Doubao legacy-vision pricing questions, with the current official row separated from migration assumptions.

Q · 01 What is Doubao 1.5 Vision Pro priced at today? +
Volcano Ark's current pricing page lists Y3.00/M input for the legacy doubao-1.5-vision-pro row. AI//COST converts that to $0.4464/M using the reference rate of Y6.7209/USD.
Q · 02 Why did this page once show no output price? +
That was our error, corrected on August 31, 2026. The row was recorded as having no output-token price, and the page said so. Volcano Ark's standard-inference table does list one - Y9.00/M, or $1.3391/M - and it appears to have been there all along. Nothing was invented before; a published figure was simply missing from our record, which understated the cost of any workload that generates tokens.
Q · 03 Is there cache-hit pricing? +
No cache-hit discount is listed for this legacy vision row on the current pricing table. The calculator therefore treats cached input the same as normal input instead of fabricating a discount.
Q · 04 Should new projects still choose this model? +
Usually no. For new work, ByteDance's active vision-capable rows such as Doubao Seed 1.6 Vision or Doubao Seed 2.0 Pro are cleaner targets with clearer output pricing and broader current support.
Q · 05 Does this page include tax or contract discounts? +
No. This page stores the public Volcano Ark list price before tax, enterprise rebates, or negotiated regional terms. The USD amount is just a comparison layer over the official CNY source.
Q · 06 How is the effective figure calculated? +
The quote board uses the site's standard blend - 92% input, 8% output - on the vendor's two published rates, giving $0.518/M. The figure shown here before August 31, 2026 was $0.39/M, computed with output set to zero because the output rate was missing from our record. Any migration budget built on the old number understated generative work.
